Answer 1

You are missing the "product" key in the $product array, please check the below code that there is a "product" key, and inside that, all the product details are there. You have to pass the data in JSON format, but you are using http_build_query, which Shopify doesn't accept with application/json header, so please use the below code to create a product via PHP curl.
<?php
$productData = [
"product" => [
"title" => "Burton Custom Freestyle 151",
"body_html" => "<strong>Good snowboard!</strong>",
"vendor" => "Burton",
"product_type" => "Snowboard",
"variants" => [
[
"option1" => "Blue",
"option2" => "155"
],
[
"option1" => "Black",
"option2" => "159"
]
],
"options" => [
[
"name" => "Color",
"values" => [
"Blue",
"Black"
]
],
[
"name" => "Size",
"values" => [
"155",
"159"
]
]
]
]
];
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://your-development-store.myshopify.com/admin/api/2022-10/products.json');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, [
'X-Shopify-Access-Token' => '{access_token}',
'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
]);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($productData));
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
